Some questions

[whitty]

hey there. im looking at signing up with HR but wanted to ask a couple questions first.
i will be running a forum on my site that has 100 members now. how much bandwidth do you think that will use up? im just curious as to which plan i should get. im pretty sure 15 gigs will be enough. my actually site isnt all that big. just a personal site.
also i have been reading these forums and read that you might run into problems when 35-40 members are on a forum at the same time? i dont know how old the post was, so is this still true? and how bad of a problem will it be?
also i read that subdomains cant have www in them. they have to be http://subdomain.domain.com is that true?
also when i sign up for a 2 year plan do i have to pay all at once or is it just a contract that says i have to pay monthly for 2 years?

thanks a bunch peeps

What support said was 35-40 people in the forum at the same time on a shared server is okay but more than that you should consider a semi-dedicated or dedicated server plan as it will use up too many server resources. They aren't worried about bandwidth just the server being bogged down.
